A lucky koi fish was found while escaping from famine, and the whole family became prosperous

Chapter 123 Go to the Marriage Bridge Again

Jiang Yunjin just thought he was dazzled.

Little did she know that she was not seeing things at the dinner table.

After washing their hands, they went to the shop in the front yard to eat.

In the huge lobby, dozens of oil lamps were lit, illuminating the room as bright as day.

The servants in the house have a separate place to eat.

After three rounds of meals.

After they had almost finished eating, the Jiang family began to show kind care to Jiang Laowu.

A blush appeared on Jiang Laowu's handsome features. He was clearly drinking water, but he felt a little drunk.

"Mom, I am very happy to see that our family is getting better, but I am powerless and can't do much for our family! These are just some of my thoughts, I hope you won't refuse!"

As Jiang Laowu spoke, he took out a purse made of gray cloth from his bosom and handed it to Old Lady Jiang.

When I put the thing in my palm, I felt it was heavy.

This time, not only Old Mrs. Jiang was shocked, but everyone else in the Jiang family was shocked.

Didn't Lao Wu go to school? Why did he go to make money?
Faced with the Jiang family's doubts, Jiang Laowu simply said casually that he earned money by copying books.

Old Mrs. Jiang opened her purse, which was filled with loose silver coins, amounting to about twenty taels.

all these are…

In an instant, Mrs. Jiang's eyes turned red.

Others may not know how difficult copying books is, but how could she not know?

Copying one book only earns a hundred coins!

With so much money, I don't know how long it took Lao Wu to copy and how many books he copied.

At this moment, Mrs. Jiang's eyes were wet. She quickly lowered her head and made an excuse to pack up the silver before wiping away the tears.

The next second, her face turned stern.

"Old Five! Did I send you to the academy just to let you copy books for others? Mother sent you to the academy so that you can study and pass the imperial examination! Not so that you can copy books for others!"

Although Mrs. Jiang looked angry, she felt more distressed for her youngest son.

Lao Wu was not informed of the situation at home in the past few days, but instead he thought that the family was still the same. How could she not know what Lao Wu was thinking?

After being scolded, Jiang Laowu did not say a word. Instead, he lowered his head, looking as if he was not going to listen to advice.

Such stubbornness made Old Lady Jiang couldn't help but sigh and her tone softened.

When Jiang Laowu heard that his family could earn seventy or eighty taels a day, he was so surprised that he was speechless.

Seeing that people didn't believe her, Old Lady Jiang asked the servants to clear the table after dinner.

I took the whole family to my room.

All the money was kept in her room, including today's revenue.

In front of Jiang Laowu, the Jiang family counted all the money they earned today and found a total of seventy taels of silver.

Same as yesterday.

Jiang Laowu was also stunned when he saw the amount of money. He obviously didn't expect that his family had progressed so quickly.

Before the New Year, the most I could earn was thirty taels of silver, and that was not even if I went there every day, so I could only make that much money every few days.

just now…

With red eyes, Jiang Laowu promised Old Lady Jiang that he would study hard in the future.

Old Mrs. Jiang nodded with a look of relief, and finally returned the purse that Jiang Laowu handed over to him, and added a little more money into it to make it fifty taels.

And this money was also agreed by my family.

Jiang Lao Da even said frankly that the matter of making money was left to his older brothers, and Jiang Lao Wu’s responsibility was to study hard and strive to pass the imperial examinations to live up to their efforts.

Jiang Laowu, who had been tense all along, showed a sincere smile for the first time.

After counting the money, the Jiang family gathered in Old Mrs. Jiang's room to chat.

Since there is a day off tomorrow, Boss Jiang doesn't have to take his daughter home, so he will stay in the backyard tonight.

Fortunately, there were many rooms, so we could still stay there if we squeezed in. That night, the family chatted for a long time before leaving the room one after another to rest.

Jiang Yunjin went back with his parents to rest.

The next day.

Jiang Yunjin got up early, and Jiang Lao Da and Jiang Dasao also woke up one after another.

Mrs. Jiang took out a light green coat and skirt that she had prepared for her daughter. Her daughter's soft black hair was combed into two small buns and tied with a light green headband on each side.

There are white fluffy balls hanging on both ends of the headband, which sway as the little girl jumps, which is very cute and lively.

Jiang Yunjin, neatly dressed, followed her parents and went straight to the old lady's room.

While walking on the road, I heard Grandma Sun say that breakfast was ready.

Afterwards, other members of the Jiang family also got up one after another.

After dinner, the Jiang family discussed today's matters.

Old Mrs. Jiang was the first to say that they must go and see the third son first, but it was still early now.

Since there was nothing to do today, Mrs. Jiang Da and Mrs. Jiang Er decided to go with them, and take Jiang Yunjin with them.

As for the others, they stay at home and keep an eye on their children's studies.

It is not convenient for the men to meet other women, so only Jiang Laosan can go with them.

After breakfast, Boss Jiang called several servants together and handed each of them a red envelope, saying that it was to wish for good luck on the Lantern Festival.

There wasn't much money in the red envelope, but there was at least a hundred coins.

He also said that each person’s monthly salary would be four cents of silver, and that if they did a good job, their monthly salary would increase in the future.

For a moment, several people were very excited.

Of course, the guard’s monthly salary would be higher, eight cents of silver.

These prices are also negotiated.

As for Grandma Sun's family, the daughter-in-law is also a helper. She has to work and naturally receives a monthly salary. As for Grandma Sun's son, I heard that he can also drive a cart, so he can be asked to transport goods in the future.

There will also be a monthly salary.

For Grandma Sun and her family, this was a huge surprise!

Today is the Lantern Festival, so I gave them half a day off to remind them to return on time.

Boss Jiang was not afraid that they would escape. After all, servants who had signed a death contract would not be held accountable by the government even if they were beaten to death by their masters.

Not to mention that I now have a monthly salary.

After Boss Jiang finished speaking, he asked several people to leave.

Old Mrs. Jiang had also packed up everything and simply walked to the Marriage Bridge with a group of people.

Jiang Yunjin jumped and skipped beside her mother, listening to her second aunt instructing her third uncle over and over again.

Let Uncle San be more considerate and not be too dull. If he likes a girl, he should give the gift he bought to her.

The gift was a silver hairpin that I bought from a stall, as a token of my appreciation.

Even if Mrs. Jiang were to marry a daughter-in-law, she would certainly not be too extravagant.

What is the Jiang family's wealth? How could she not know?

The old lady would never do anything to brag about herself. She would just be realistic and show the Jiang family's utmost sincerity.

As they were talking, they soon arrived at the gate of the Marriage Bridge.

Before I got close, I could see from afar that the Marriage Bridge was still very lively.

Perhaps it was because Mrs. Jiang and her group arrived a little early that they were able to squeeze in.

Old Mrs. Jiang quickly found the matchmaker who had received them that day.

Before she opened her mouth, the matchmaker recognized Old Mrs. Jiang at a glance.

"Hey, the old lady is here! Please come in quickly! Go inside and have some tea first!"

Wang Sanniang had a look of joy on her face. The worry in her heart disappeared the moment she saw the Jiang family.
